dear baskar, one easy way of reducing your wife's cholesterol is by eating daily 5 to 6 bits of garlic on empty stomach. This old method was the secret of our ancestors health. This method has been now proved by modern scientific research. Do not chew the garlic, as the saliva destroys the substance present in the garlic which reduced cholesterol .
